Members dragonflies Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 TBH I don't mind Martin and Smitty having older children Do we know what age they adopted them, as? It's refreshing if they adopted them older given most people only want newborns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wonderwoman1951 Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 (edited) while i’ve certainly done my share of handwaving when it comes to soap ages that’s not to say that age doesn’t exist — or matter. as someone up thread noted, the show’s barely a week old. if they’re serious, i can’t see them waiting three years. i find the whole idea insulting to my intelligence and hoping that someone (perhaps his grandfather) cautions patience. i also think they missed a real opportunity with martin’s character (actor aside). the conflict between him and smitty would have a lot more depth if martin had just been elected and was feeling overwhelmed by his his new responsibilities, which was taking its toll on his marriage. the way this story is unfolding, martin just seems like a selfish, self-absorbed dick — a 25-year old whose self-absorption would have context.

Members Maxim Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 Martin to me is a testament to the fact that no amount of handsomeness, sexiness, hotness etc... can substitute screen presence, charisma and talent. Get him on recurring and give Shanice her spot in the intro. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 So is Vanessa's husband a recurring or contract player bc somehting tells me she is going to be a widow in the near future they talked about reading them bedtime stories so that would imply young to me. Like 6-7 at the oldest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 Depending on how old they are, it works, I mean they're 16/17? that's about ten years ago they adopted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 I agree. There were far fewer characters featured today which gave the stories room to breath. I liked how Jazmen Darnell Brown's script referenced actual media like TMZ and the Shade Room rather than trying to cute with made-up punny names. We are still getting some exposition-laden dialogue ("my favorite son-in-law") but there is less, and most of the exposition is more natural - the women gossiping at the diner or Vanessa showing Doug pictures of their kid on her phone. I would just like one scene where Eva to interrogates Nicole about her past so we can get a sense of the ages and the timeline.

Members Maxim Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 Find me a rich gay couple that looks as hot and as young... as Martin and Smitty are right now... that adopted children 10 years ago... While they were what?? In the mid to late 20s... And I'll admit that I'm wrong. But I'm sorry... This is not that big of a deal... None of us are saying that this is some kind of a disaster... It's just absurd. Like many things in soap operas btw. But it is strange and unrealistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 Very refreshing to take a break from Dani/Bill and that storyline. I like Kat, but damn she had no reason to be such a bitch out of nowhere to Eva. I guess this will be her personality. I loved seeing Eva meet Ted already! That was impactful. Great seeing a new day and other characters' storylines today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rmodelboy Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 (edited) Right lol . I could give a damn about ages on a fictional show especially an entertaining one. Edited March 5 by Rmodelboy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 I agree about the refreshing pause from the borderline personality stuff. But I don't agree about Kat. If I see someone going through my mother's stuff like that and then that someone says to me... Why are you not with your mama... Like she is some type of authority... I'll be more than a bitch and probably call security. Lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 I’m gonna need them to dress Kat more contemporary and less like a First Lady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
